The organisers of the Berlin international film festival have disinvited five politicians from the far-right party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) from next week’s opening gala in the German capital, citing recent reports on the AfD’s alleged mass deportation plans.

Nicely done. Fascists are persona non grata. You don’t invite them to your events. You don’t have champagne and canapés with them. Tolerance cannot tolerate intolerance.
Germany’s reaction to far right extremism is a sunshine in a very grim world. The US needs this public sentiment urgently.
Cover Reveal!
I’m publishing a book of essays called VERY FINE PEOPLE, and my readership is helping me do that. If you want the details on how you can get in on it (and get a signed copy and my thanks in the acknowledgements section), uhh link below:
Maybe maga Hur forgot what he wrote on page one by the time he got to page 215. Maybe he’s having memory and recall issues.
Republican Special Counsel Hur on page 1: I have evidence President Biden willfully retained classified materials
Republican Special Counsel Hur on page 215: “There is in fact a shortage of evidence” that President Biden willfully retained classified materials.

If America weren't a failed state, she would already have been removed from the bench.
Now is the time to start asking who besides just #Trump benefits from reducing the penalty for #espionage.
About 0.75% of the population of Germany, in the 1930s, was Jewish -- 505,000 people out of a total population of 67 million.
About 1.03% of the United States adult population, today, identifies as transgender, according to the Household Pulse Survey.
That those numbers are so similar is not a coincidence. Nazis are cowards and look for populations so outnumbered they have a hard time fighting back.
The most corrupt Supreme Court justice in memory, Clarence Thomas, asked the first question in today's oral arguments about Colorado's decision to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot.
Thomas' wife was an active participant in the attempt to overthrow the 2020 election results.
Corruption doesn't get any more plain than that.
I watched/listened to major TV "news" show coverage, and you will be unsurprised to know that I didn't hear even a single mention of this.
@depereo I quite agree. And that the Chief Justice of the United States would make that argument, in this case or any other, shows that he is unfit to hold his office.
That was CRAZY. That White House press corps (aka SUCKERS) are very aggressive with @POTUS @JoeBiden but are wimpy and standoffish with lying, thieving-ass FASCIST Republicans, licking their dirty, corrupt boots and stenographying for them. #VoteBlue #Mastodon #republicans #fascists #usa #BlackMastodon
Look at the glee.
When democracy falls, these are the a$$holes who made it happen.
They're already the propaganda arm of billionaires and mega corporations, so they'll be safe while the rest of us burn.

Aren't you?
Excellent news. My friend and climate science colleague Michael Mann, attacked and defamed for years, has won his defamation court case against two repeat, unrepentent, and nasty climate deniers.
An FBI Agent has been sent here to Twin Peaks to investigate the disappearance of teen Laura Palmer. Sheriff Truman has so far refused to comment.
And yeah, this is the “her emails” DOJ sabotage of Biden. Comey fucked us in 2016 and Hur fucked us in 2024. Meanwhile Mueller was so hung up on sticking to principles that he let a guy who blatantly obstructed justice remain president. Ahhh, the taste of American justice.
What a rapid mob at the press conference. And fucking Pete Doocy! Fuck that fucker.
I was disgusted when I heard Justice Roberts ask whether disqualifying TFG would disenfranchise some voters.
G.D.-it! Roberts! why did you not ask that question when you let southern states disenfranchise voters, en masse, on the basis of race, when you decided Shelby v. Holder?
So, Roberts, you are willing to take voting rights away from hundreds of thousands of black voters yet you shake and moan at the mere thought of disqualifying one near-traitor on the rather clear grounds clearly called out in the text of the 14th Amendment.
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
